Abstract excerpt
Loss of imprinting (LOI) is a common epigenetic event in cancer and may serve as an early biomarker in some cancers. To obtain a better understanding of LOI, we studied 41 bladder tumors and their adjacent normal bladder mucosa. We found 2/9 (22.2%) cases that displayed LOI of IGF2 and 2/16 (12.5%) that had LOI of H19, as determined by the evaluation of mRNA for biallelic expression. In addition, we examined...
